Sharleen Spiteri - Melody
Sharleen Spiteri - All The Times I CriedSharleen Spiteri - Stop I Don't Love You Anymore
Sharleen Spiteri releases her brand new single Stop I Don't Love You Anymore through Mercury Records Stop… is a whip-cracking slice of bittersweet break-up pop in the classic Motown and Northern Soul tradition.
Stop is taken from Sharleen's debut solo album Melody which went straight into the album charts at No 3, and has stayed Top Ten since - being declared Gold for 100,000 sales after just three weeks!
Stop follows up Sharleen's debut solo single, the Airplay smash hit All The Times I Cried, which has been a fixture in and around the UK Airplay Top Ten since release, achieving a coveted Radio 2 'A' Playlisting - it is still being added to numerous ILR stations over a month after release and has received a Nielson award for 10,000 UK radio plays.
The release of Melody has seen Sharleen back in huge demand with over 10 performances on a range of massive UK TV shows from Later with Jools Holland to the Andrew Marr Show, via Graham Norton, The Charlotte Church Show and Transmission.
Sharleen has also performed radio sessions for Radio 2 and Virgin as well as slotting in a triumphant main stage surprise performance at hometown festival T in the Park. Press plaudits include the NME who called Melody 'a succulent record of Dusty Springfield-isms'.
Sharleen has taken complete artistic control on Melody to write and produce what she calls 'my ultimate personal fantasy record'. Man of the moment Bernard Butler also co-produces one track with Sharleen. Melody is a musically stylish, lyrically powerful album which boasts a blinding array of pop gems. Steeped in the sound and textures of '60s soul, '50s rock'n'roll and doo-wop, Melody is an album that's vintage in flavour yet utterly contemporary in spirit. It's a timely reminder that Sharleen was already dabbling in similar influences over a decade ago, be it Tamla Motown ('Black Eyed Boy'), Marvin Gaye ('Say What You Want') or Elvis Presley (cross-dressing up as The King for 2001's 'Inner Smile' video).
Catchy, tender, sexy, soulful, frisky and once heard never forgotten. Melody is most definitely Sharleen Spiteri to the core.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.

Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
